- May 2009, Reinventing Executive Education: in May 2009, Didier was invited to meet with the Directors of one of the world's most adavanced Management Education "Do Thank" (as opposed to those who only think academically).

Didier suddenly realized it was... his text, unpublished but which he had sent ahead of his visit.
